fighters of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) conducted two hit and run attacks on positions of the Turkish Army and its proxies from the Free Syrian Army (FSA) around the villages of Qadu and Blelka in the Rajo district northwest of the city of Afrin, according to the Kurdish Hawar News Agency (ANHA). The source reported that 13 soldiers of the Turkish Army had been killed in the two attacks. From its side, the Turkish Army and its proxies didn’t advance on February 17 likely because of bad weather. However, the Turkish Air Forces (TAF) conducted a series of airstrikes against the positions and ammo depots of the YPG in the districts of Rajo, Sheikh al-Hadid and Jandaris northwest and west of Afrin, according to Turkish sources.
